Twins Adopted To Different Parents Didn’t Know About Each Other Until Now

What About Alice Lamb?

Alice Alexandra Patience Lamb gave birth to the fraternal twins in 1936. As you’ve already read, she was an unmarried domestic cook in Aldershot, England. The father was an Army soldier, stationed at Aldershot, but he didn’t stay in the picture, nor did he ever see the babies.

Left alone with two babies (one of whom had a curvature of the spine) she could not afford to care for them both. So, she gave up Patricia Susan Lamb at 5-months old, and the baby was adopted and raised as an only child by Hector and Gladys Wilson. Alice kept Elizabeth because she thought the spine issue might make it more difficult for her to be adopted.
